Awkward! Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy Both Reportedly Invited to the Same Kennedy Event

Two weeks after it was reported that Taylor Swift and her boarding-school-student beau, Conor Kennedy, broke up—three and a half weeks since we last heard of Ethel Kennedy’s unwavering affection for Taylor Swift, not that we’re counting—we have gossip concerning our favorite Hyannis Port love triangle. Long before the breakup made news, it was announced that Ethel would present Swift with the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights’ Ripple of Hope Award for her “commitment to social change.” As it turns out, the gala where the award will be presented is scheduled for December 3 (less than a month from now) and, asThe New York Postobserves, Conor will attend “if he is allowed out of school.”

Potential drama! Should Conor even go, to be supportive of his ex-girlfriend? Or should he be respectful of her and not attend (his family’s event)? Should he attend but ask that he be seated at a different table, and then bring two to three of his own friends for moral support? Should he grab the microphone and make a passive-aggressive impromptu toast saying how nice it must be for Swift not have to crash a Kennedy event this time around? So many possible wildly dramatic possibilities. Multiple New York Post* sources report that the pair have “stayed in phone contact,” so keep that at-best third-hand information in mind when you suggest ways to make this event as least tense as possible in the space below.

In case your invitation has not yet arrived, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights’ Ripple of Hope Awards Dinner will take place at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The ever-winning Ethel will host the event, while Alec Baldwin will act as M.C. Guests expected include Kerry Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, Matthew Broderick, and Mia Farrow.

*that will probably never materialize because we are referring to well-raised, boarding-school-attending, award-receiving individuals who can call “Hyannis Port” their (second? third?) home.
